answer is 1200 sec please mark me as brainliestt
Given:
Current=2A
Time=10 minutes
To find:
The amount of electric charge flowing through the circuit
Solution:
The amount of electric charge flowing through the circuit is 1200 C.
We can find the charge by following the given steps-
We know that in a circuit, the current flowing is the ratio of the electric charge and the number of seconds for which it flows.
The duration for which the current flows in the circuit=10 minutes
We know that there are 60 seconds in 1 full minute.
So, the number of seconds in 10 minutes=10×60
=600 seconds.
Current in a circuit= Charge flowing in the circuit/ Duration of flow
On putting the given values, we get
2= Charge flowing in the circuit/ 600
2×600=Charge flowing in the circuit
Charge flowing in the circuit=1200 C
Therefore, the amount of electric charge flowing through the circuit is 1200 C.
